the obama administration has collapsed the immigration. trying to claim he is the reporter in chief -- deporter in chief. obama is not the deporter in chief. host: what about the numbers we showed earlier? host: one last question for you regarding the issue of our topic this morning, looking at current law and what happens to immigrants now. karen says speaker boehner once again says the -- uses the typical republican response. i'm so sick and tired of hearing this, that whatever the president proposes will be criticized and ignored by republicans. dan stein, who are you looking to lead? guest: the strong expert on the issue know what is going on. a lot of expertise. john boehner, sometimes the leadership wants to take a balanced view. unless they figure out how to attract latino voters first, it is like going over a political cliff. not that latino voters were really important in the outcome of this last election, but ultimately the quixotic effort to gain latino voters by passing amnesty is a big fat political illusion. host: who are you

now the obama administration is expected to put forward a new chief. it could be todd jones, some people think. the problem is he would have to give up his other job, for which he is senate-confirmed, which is the u.s. attorney in minnesota. keep in mind, what the caller just talked about, there's still this ongoing discussion which has always been at a simmer as to whether or not we should just get rid of the agency. so many issues. perhaps you give it to thousand or so agents to the fbi or d.e.a. or some other agency and put off the regulatory powers. the nra opposes that idea. host: edward is on the democratic line from kentucky. caller: yes. if the u.s. could initiate a buyback program on these assault weapons, give them to holder, let him sell them to the mexican drug cartels, take the profits and pay down the debt. host: he's talking about issues with a fast and furious. explain what that situation has been for folks not familiar with the investigation. guest: there was an investigation in phoenix at the atf office which was focused on trying to
